Line 23:
* [[Performance Anxiety]]: This is why Jesse doesn't want to perform in the school play. He says that he's too shy to go onstage and would rather let his twin brother shine. {{spoiler|He ends up saving the show by wearing the Act Two Maybelle dress and going onstage to take Bonnie's place. When the crowd gives a standing ovation, he looks like he's about to cry [[Tears of Joy]]}}.
* [[Reality Ensues]]: Most works of media have it as a protagonist's shining achievement when they step in to take the place of someone during a play. Not-so-much here; Bonnie locks herself in the closet after Act One on the last night of the play {{spoiler|to cry after West breaks up with her}}. While {{spoiler|Jesse saves the show and gets a standing ovation from the crowd, the entire crew, teachers included, yell at Bonnie for her selfishness in refusing to perform for Act Two at the wrap party}}.
* [[Toe-Tapping Melody]]: The song that Maybelle sings with the leading role in ''Moon Over Mississippi'' is supposed to invoke this. It's the moment where she and the Union general have their first kiss, building up the dramatic tension. Callie is always entranced when Jesse sings it, partly because she has a crush on him. {{spoiler|When Bonnie bails on playing Maybelle on the play's last night after West breaks up with her, Jesse puts on the dress and replaces her. When he sings Maybelle's part, the audience and stage crew are equally entranced. He gets a standing ovation at the curtain call.}}
